Chapter 293 On Fire
293 Chapter 293 is on fire
Wu Xie ate the weight and was determined to go to his brother's wooden building to check out the photos after lunch. Therefore, he ate very unsteadily and ate it as if he was swallowing a jujube. He winked at us and urged us to go to the old house quickly. It can be said that we wanted to stand in front of the small building immediately, very impatient.

My newly repositioned shoulder was originally supposed to flex the elbow joint slightly less than 90°, with the hand higher than the elbow, and then use a bandage to hang the injured arm on the chest, but I think that would make the nose too conspicuous, which does not mean Telling the enemy that one of our people had been injured would make them even more arrogant, so they didn't hang him openly.

Before going out, Liyue still felt uneasy, so I whispered to her: "I have added a spiritual invisible force to fix it on my shoulder. This way, I don't have to bend my arm all the time, and I don't have to hang it up, but it is well protected. Do not worry."

However, when we arrived near the small building, we found that there were a few old men sitting under the big tree at the entrance of the small building, chatting and enjoying the cool air. Don't say anything, they definitely couldn't go. When I saw Wu Xie's face, his face suddenly changed. , looking over there angrily.

The little brother patted his arm, and I tugged at the corner of his clothes and said to him: "Let's wait here first." After that, we all walked to a tree nearby and waited for the old men to leave. .

Wu Xie sat down helplessly, but he was very anxious and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, but he also understood that it would be useless to rush.

The little brother was extremely calm and looked unhurried. He took my hand and led me to sit under the shade of a tree. He followed him to find banana leaves, gave one to me and Wu Xie, and then he Also sat down.

I heard that August in Guangxi has already entered the hottest period of the year, but in some places the real heat does not come until September or October. But no matter what month it is, the humidity, heat and intense heat here are still there. Yang does make people feel uncomfortable.

I checked before coming here and it said that Shangsi County is located south of the Tropic of Cancer and has a south subtropical monsoon climate. Summers are mainly controlled by tropical and epitropical marine air masses from the south, so it is generally hot and rainy.

During these few hours when the sun was the strongest and hottest, we sat here stupidly absorbing the heat. During these few hours of waiting, the old men under the tree in front of the building became more and more cheerful as they chatted.

After these few hours, Wu Xie's mood gradually calmed down, but his heart became more and more panicked, uneasy, and anxious, but he didn't want to go back and be laughed at by the fat man, so he was extremely entangled.

The heat here made him feel that his forehead had been burned by the sun. He used a banana leaf as a fan and kept fanning it, but there was a humid heat wave in the air, and the breeze that cooled the banana leaf was completely unbearable. Top use.

Even with Shui Ling turned on, I still feel a little dizzy from the heat. The heat in Guangxi is very different from that in BJ. The humidity here is too high, and in this hot environment, the higher the humidity, the more uncomfortable it will be. Sultry.

In summer, I keep my water temperature at 26° to 28° and it will be very comfortable. If it is still cool indoors, it will not work well under the bright sun, but the temperature cannot be set too low, as the body will be overwhelmed. , I had to calm down, close my eyes and lean on my brother's shoulder, use the big leaves given by my brother to block the dazzling sunlight, and quietly share the water spirit with me to cool down my brother, at least to avoid heatstroke.

When the fat man saw that we never came back, he became a little worried and came out to look for us. When he saw us bathing in the sunshine, he let go of his worries. As soon as he came to us, he started to mutter: "Okay, just stay here. You haven't come back for so long, I thought you were arrested." Then he said to Wu Xie: "You said you, what did I say, but you didn't listen to me, you came here now, nothing happened Let's get it done, you said the one next door is baking along, what if you get a heat stroke..." He was ridiculed.

In my opinion, the fat man at this time felt quite like an old mother, who was talking about him hard.

Wu Xie ignored him. He looked at me and my little brother. He saw that the little brother was motionless and showed no signs of irritation. However, he was just as sweaty as himself. He thought to himself, this iceberg-like cool guy is also the same. He couldn't block the strong Guangxi sun, and looking at Xiaoxun next to him, he always maintained a leisurely look.

Seeing that Wu Xie didn't have the strength to refute him, the fat man said to us: "Let's go, let's go, don't just wait, let's go out for a walk and find a stream to soak in, otherwise I'll get sour."

The young man turned to look at him and heard him say: "I saw it when I came here. There is a mountain stream outside the village. It is not wide but the water is quite fast. At that time, I thought, that place must be a good place to escape the summer heat. It’s a place, I just don’t know how to get there from the village, let’s go look for it together and cool down.”

As soon as Wu Xie heard that he liked it and he really couldn't bear it, he immediately got up and said to us: "Let's go find it."

I took away the leaves that blocked the sun and looked at them. The little brother patted me, which meant that we should go together. He and I stood up, and the four of us went to look for them together.

Along the way, Wu Xie asked a few villagers, who gave him directions. The fat man also picked banana leaves and put them on his head, cursing the sun all the way. My brother and I were quiet the whole time.

We walked all the way out of the stockade. The stockade and the stream were basically adjacent to each other. There was a stone beach between the stockade and the stream. Wu Xie looked at it and said, "When it rains heavily, the water will come up. These pebbles can act as a buffer." The effect is about to arrive.”

They looked over at the ridge, and the fat man said: "Hey, there are quite a few people playing in the water. It seems that these locals are not afraid of the heat."

The water of the green and winding stream is calmer than when we saw it downstream. When we walked to the stream, we felt a coolness on our face. It was indeed much more comfortable.

Most of the visitors were children, and I also saw some fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls wearing no underwear and only shirts, standing in the water, their soaked clothes clinging to their bodies, showing off their graceful figures.

The fat man let out a faint "Ah" and said, "Damn! It's not in vain." After a few moments, he took off his clothes and rushed straight into the stream.

The speed was so fast that I was dumbfounded. Although Wu Xie had a look of enjoyment on his face, he was much more reserved than the fat man who had already flown out. He looked at the fat man and said to us: "Look, does it look like Zhu Bajie?" Seeing the appearance of the spider spirit, I can’t wait and my mouth is watering.”

When he said this, I smiled and said, "It's true."

Wu Xie followed and unbuttoned his pants, but he felt that wearing briefs was unsightly, so he went into the water wearing sports shorts, and soon walked to the shade under the rocks.

My brother and I did not go into the water, but sat under a tree to enjoy the coolness. Wu Xie soaked in the water quietly, while the fat man played lively with the girls in the water. Wu Xie found that there were still small children in this place. My brother's stilt building was not far away. After a while, my brother and I both dozed off.Wu Xie soaked for a while, and the summer heat completely disappeared. He felt a leisurely comfort rushing over his face. He also raised his head to look at the little brother's house in the village, and told himself, don't be nervous, this time we are not fighting upside down. , nothing will happen here, there will be no rice dumplings, just take your time, so I lay down, soaked my body in the water, closed my eyes, and stretched my body.

I don’t know how long I lay there, but I vaguely heard some noise, as if someone was saying, “There’s a fire,” so I opened my eyes, and my brother gradually opened his eyes too.

The fat man shouted: "Wake up! Wake up!"

Wu Xie, who was in a daze, suddenly heard someone calling him, and he gradually woke up. As soon as he sat up, water hit his face, splashing him awake. He saw that it was the fat man who poured it on him. he.

Looking again, all the children playing in the water ran back to the shore, shouting and running in the same direction.

We all stood up and saw green smoke rising from somewhere in the stockade in the distance. Looking in that direction, I shouted: "Brother, over there is..." As I spoke, I looked up at the little brother. Brother, I saw that the little brother’s face changed, and he suddenly felt that the situation was not good.

Wu Xie asked the fat man: "What's going on?" The fat man said: "It seems that a house is on fire."

Wu Xie looked carefully at the direction of the green smoke and said, "That direction is where the stilt building of Menyouping is located."

They quickly got out of the water and walked to us while putting on their clothes. The fat man just said to us: "Follow up."

We ran after the kids, toward the fire, and the closer we got, the worse we felt.When I rushed over, I saw thick smoke billowing out of my brother's stilt building. The fire was so intense and the heat was so high that I couldn't get close. I could tell at a glance that it was burned beyond repair.The mountain behind the stilt building also burned, the bushes were scorched black, and the fire was still spreading upwards.

Fatty Wu Xie’s face was full of surprise. The younger brother looked straight at the house. I muttered: "This fire is not right. Do you smell it? It seems to have a strong smell of kerosene."

Villagers were coming from all directions and rushed to the mountain to put out the fire. It seemed that the source of the fire was in the mountain.

All the fire-fighting equipment here only has buckets, but the number of buckets is limited. They are scooping water from the water tank to put out the mountain fire. My brother’s house keeps burning like that. By the time they put out the mountain fire, my brother’s house must have been burned. It was burned until only black slag was left.

Wu Xie was anxious and wanted to rush in. The fat man grabbed him and said, "There is nothing we can do. It's too dangerous to go in. There's no point in risking your life here."

I saw Wu Xie kneeling on the ground. Then suddenly a figure flashed beside him, and my heart skipped a beat. When I looked up, I saw that the little brother rushed over, rushed to the fire room, and went to the firehouse under the stilt building. Rolled in through the void.

The three of us were all shocked. There was a buzzing sound in my head, and my face suddenly turned white. My mind went blank. I was about to rush over in a hurry. Just as I was about to take a step forward, I was grabbed by the fat man. He yelled at me. He shouted: "Wait, you stay here and don't go there!" Then he shouted: "Save people! Save people!" and he and Wu Xie rushed over.

I didn't listen and ran with them. One step faster than them, we arrived five or six meters away from the house. The scalding heat wave hit me. I had water spirit protection, but the fire was very hot. My heat resistance is already low. , the fragrance of flowers and plants in the blood of the body was strongly roasted by the fire and came out.

When the fat man saw me, he rushed to the edge of the house, squatted down to see where the little brother was, and muttered, "Why are you disobedient? I told you not to come over."

I saw wet mud under the house. My brother was covered in wet mud and was crawling in. At this moment, another wave of heat rushed over, making him unable to open his eyes. In the blink of an eye, he was already It's gone, and there's no way to get in from here.

As soon as Wu Xie came over, he felt that his hair was immediately curled up, and his eyebrows and hair made a "pop" sound. He gritted his teeth to hold back the burning pain on his skin. He also rushed directly to the edge of the house and squatted down next to me. When he went down, he immediately realized that it was impossible to go in. When the younger brother went in, the heat wave rushed over again. The high temperature inside surged out like the breath of a fire dragon. He grabbed me beside me and crawled out.The fire fighters nearby rushed over and grabbed us.

As soon as we were helped up, we heard a loud sound of something collapsing from the fire scene, and then the little brother rolled out from the space between the stilt buildings.There was white smoke all over his body, and he stumbled up and ran toward us. Someone immediately jumped up and poured water on him. Some people nearby said he was crazy.

We rushed over and saw that he was covered in mud from under the house. We didn’t know if he had any burns, but we could see that there were black ash in several places on his left hand. He obviously took it out with his own hands.

I quickly supported him and felt that his body was very hot. Then I heard Wu Xie glare at him and yell, "You don't want to live anymore!" Then he looked at me and said fiercely, "And you!"

The fat man and I helped the little brother up, and he asked: "How is it?"

The little brother had no expression on his face and said coldly: "It's all burned out." He looked at the people who were busy putting out the fire, "It's all smell of kerosene, and even the floor was burned through." The little brother's actions meant nothing. And metaphor.

I whispered: "I just said I smelled it. It was definitely intentional."

The fat man also looked at the people putting out the fire, and looked at Wu Xie with an evil expression. The fat man said, "It seems there is something wrong with this village."
